God of Money

Chapter 196: <Control>

Four black helicopters flew from Seoul to South Junla Province where the Space launch center was located.

Riding in one of the helicopters, Jang Gwangchul asked Woosung, “Woosung, isn’t this a little too much?”

“Haha, our safety is always my priority. We need to be careful. We are responsible for so many employees.”

“But four helicopters seem too much… Three just for our security… This is Korea after all.”

“This is how the President flies. This way, whoever may attack us won’t know which one holds us.”

“But four black hawks seem way too much…”

Woosung smiled. “This is also to show off to someone.”

“Who?”

“The President of Korea is coming to this event. I’m showing him I’m not someone he can play with.”

“To show him who’s the boss?”

Woosung nodded.

Naro Space Center.

The four helicopters arrived.

President Lee Parksung, who was waiting in the VIP room, saw this and asked, “Those are all for Kang Woosung?”

His head of security answered, “Yes. One holds him and the others hold all his bodyguards.”

“Is he that important of a figure?”

“Recently, President Kang Woosung has been busy meeting with leaders of different countries and financial institutions to discuss the application of cryptocurrency. The US has been unhappy about this and that must be why Kang Woosung re-enforced his security team.”

Lee Parksung smirked. “Ha! Who does he think he is?”

“According to our research, Kang Woosung knows the direct phone number to the President of United States. Just the fact that he plans to replace the dollar system… His financial power is greater than those of many of the businessmen from different countries. According to IMF, President Kang Woosung’s value is…”

The President’s secretary was interrupted by Lee Parksung.

“Stop.” Lee Parksung glared at him.

Woosung and Jang Gwangchul got off the helicopter. Jang Gwangchul looked around awkwardly.

“I don’t think I will ever get used to this.”

“Haha, you are the CEO of XFeed and the Vice president of KND. You’re worth it.”

“But this is…”

Ten intimidating bodyguards surrounded them.

Woosung replied, “This just means we are important.”

“…”

The President’s secretary approached them. Woosung’s bodyguards stopped him and only let him pass after Woosung nodded.

The secretary asked, “Sir, the President would like to speak with you.”

Woosung nodded and said to Jang Gwangchul, “Go ahead without me. I will see you soon.”

Jang Gwangchul nodded slowly.

Lee Parksung said to Woosung coldly, “I see that you like to show off.”

“I am only doing what suits my current status.”

“You need to remember the importance of modesty.”

“I’m not like you.”

Lee Parksung frowned and replied, “It feels like every time we meet, you become more and more stubborn.”

Woosung grinned. “Probably because I am on my way up, and you are going down, President.”

Lee Parksung glared at Woosung. “You better watch it.”

Woosung glared back at him and replied, “Did you bring me here to insult me? If so, this conversation is over. Being seen with a President who is known for corruption and has only a 30% approval rating is not good for my reputation.”

Lee Parksung clenched his fists, but that was all he could do.

He relaxed and replied, “I didn’t mean to upset you. I wanted to confirm you had an understanding with my son, Attorney Lee.”

“Yes. I’ll let him know what I need.”

“You will get what you asked for. The government will also be rewarding you with an award for your good business ethics and space research.”

Woosung nodded indifferently.

Lee Parksung frowned and asked, “What do you think? This should be enough to convince you to help us.”

“Your secretary already explained this to me. You want me to announce an increase in employment and investments.”

Lee Parksung nodded.

Woosung continued, “I was going to do that anyway, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Haha, good. Let’s forget our past and become friends again.”

Woosung shook his head. “This doesn’t mean I want to be your friend.”

Lee Parksung’s face darkened.

Woosung continued quickly, “I need to get going now.”

Naro Space center conference hall.

It was filled with countless reporters. Some TV stations were airing the event live.

“Hello. This is MBD’s reporter, Lee Sunghyun. I am at Korea’s very first civilian satellite Tiger-X’s launch. This satellite was created by President Kang Woosung’s company, Space Dream, with the help from Space X.” The reporter continued quickly, “In 10 minutes, the satellite will be launched. This place is filled with tension and anticipation. President Kang Woosung is currently in the VIP room watching the event with President Lee Parksung.”

Lee Parksung asked Woosung, “What do you think? Will it be a success? I heared the technology is very complicated.”

“It will work. The technology will also be applicable to communications and military fields.”

“We’ll see.”

Finally, the countdown commenced.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Zero.

With a loud noise and vibration, the rocket lifted off to the skies.

KND 1100.30.

KND was currently worth over 310 billion dollars. With the recent satellite success, it’s stock price rose at an unprecedented rate.

1BTC 7501.10.

Bitcoin prices also continued to increase. Choi Gichul sighed as he logged on to his Bit Trading account.

110,010 BTC.

He purchased bitcoins with the money Suk Jinmyung stole from Choi Taemin. Choi Gichul spent a lot of time money laundering through purchasing and selling of bitcoins.

“If I can keep this up, I will end up with billions of dollars”

He felt hopeful. He also felt grateful to Jung Jinsup, who was sitting next to him. If it wasn’t for Jung Jinsup creating this dealership, this would have never been possible.

‘I’ll buy him a drink. That should be enough’

Choi Gichul clicked to a coin information website. He had been thinking about the cryptocurrency mining machines. Instead of collecting bitcoins, Choi Gichul was thinking about mining himself.

“Should I create a mining company?” Choi Gichul wondered in all seriousness.
